> I have a broadcast-quality CRT with consoles of ye olde hooked up, and pixels you see on sprites, especially on the edges, aren't there on CRTs. I think this is very insightful. I learned about this when setting up a home MAME arcade. The vector-graphic games looked perfect, but Space Harrier and other pixel-based games looked wrong to me, less impressive than I remembered as a kid. The forums told me I could try running a pixel-smudging mask to make the games look right, but it would be graphics-card-intensive. Instead, I went out and found an old used CRT monitor and everything looks great.
